Is it possible to make a good Bible game?

[sadpolice]

Didn't you know? Its already been done.

Perhaps... the Holy Crusades?

David's life alone would make a decent trilogy.
He went from fighting lions and such to protect his sheep to standing down Goliath, to becoming the arguably one of the most powerful Kings in history. He was a scholar, a poet, a warrior, and a religious leader.
His story is epic enough to rival games like Prince of Persia or even Dynasty warriors.

And don't forget the part at the end of the story where you get to see a totally hot naked chick bathing and have her husband killed off so you can then marry her for yourself.

Best game ending ever!

Maybe a game where you have to nail Jesus to the cross with your Wii mote?

Then possibly take the actions of the romans who beat him and use your wii mote to dish out some lashings and punishment.

Perfect game right there.

Something to ponder though....

Since the Bible is the #1 world's MOST shoplifted book, would a game based on the Bible become the #1 MOST pirated game?

 

[Cowabungaa]

Hmmmm, nah not really I think. Not for the reasons above actually, but for another reason: all the Deus Ex Machina happenings make it far too easy. Revelations could make a proper game though, but it has to have 2 endings, or else it would be too predictable.
Anyway, yes the OT has a lot of violence and sex and other stuff, but it's all cheesy and all those stories ultimatly boil down to "and God solves it", it's all very moralistic, too moralistic.
Anyway, I'd love a good Revelations game, especially the war part obviously. Let me shoot some demons and crap, and give it a campaign for the other side as well, ofcourse.

 

[Kuala BangoDango]

No. You can't make anything good out of the Bible.

Actually, I just read another website where a guy said Bible pages make for great cigarette/joint rolling paper.

Ever played those Japanese Date games?

You've gotta convince God to let you into heaven.
You've gotta coax Mary into bed.
You've gotta bribe Judas.
You've gotta convince Abel.
You've gotta scare Eve.
You've gotta talk King Herod out of it.
You've gotta convince Jesus to cure your leprosy.
You've gotta chat up Gabriel.

/\ That idea wins.

I got an idea for a game, it will be called, "BE SAVED OR BE DEAD", u play as Jesus and when the people try to capture him, he pulls out an AK47 and sends them on a one stop trip to Hell, so the aim of the game will be to spread the word of God while kicking ass at the same time and the final boss will be Chuck Norris. "Game development in progress"

Only Japan... out of curiosity, are they online flash games, or Japan-exclusive console/PC games?

 

[Cid Silverwing]

The church has no business stickin' its hands where it don't belong. It's not like they have enough fuckin money already.

QFT.

 

[arc101]

you could not do it without making at least... no all of the world religions calling for your blood.
What kind of genre would the game be? FPS, RPG... hmmm

Both. They're basically just text adventures where you have to convince a lovely lady to come to bed with you.

Are you serious? Surely that negates the purpose of buying a bible? Or maybe priests are underpayed.

 

[warlored]

there is a good bible game its named super noas ark not to be confused with super noas ark 3d

You mean the one by Konami? That was never released in the states, so I can't make a judgement on that one.

 

[warlored]

yes that 1

Isn't stealing a sin or something...

 

[CheeseSandwichCake]

It'd work as a PARODY but not if it were based on the actual bible's canon.

The bible contains just about as much fact as a soccer mum's united meeting does anyway.

How about this: A game where you're a black priest in the middle of the apocalypse and you smash the crap out of zombies and demons taking you across the world to different countries smashing the crap out of said zombies and demons to try and save the world.
Only because it'd be an excuse for the Holy Hand Grenade and the shotgun from Constantine.

Is there such thing as a bad bible game i mean come on !! >.> <.<
